No one told me you can't do tables so one chapter of a book I'm doing lists the whole chapter as one giant table 3 columns wide.
Type of plant
Nutrients
Healing Properties
It starts with Alfalfa and ends at Watercress
Each even row has a background colour so you can distinguish the start of the new row when one cell is so long it wraps to the following page without it's associated cells.
I have also done a weights and liquids conversion table with coloured header background and alternating coloured rows and single pixel coloured border. They display great in iBooks, Calibre and the browser but the background colours don't appear in ADE.
Maybe I can make a shortened version of those chapters for you to check out so you can have a look at what I've done and you could test them on any devises you have to let me know if they work on them and you can get a head start on any tables you were thinking of doing.
I'm also interested how your devises might display the images. I only have an iPad so any feedback would be very welcome.
As for Sigil, I've downloaded it but haven't learned to fly it yet. If you do use some of the code maybe you could let me know how you did it.
